DONNA-MARIE HARDING (nee QUIGLEY) It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear mother, grandmother and friend, in the early hours of Sunday, February 27, 2000. She was predeceased by her parents, Donna and Patrick Quigley, and by her husband Donald, two infant siblings and an infant daughter. Donna leaves to mourn sons, Dave and wife Shelley, Ken and wife Phyllis; her three daughters, Cindy and husband Larry, Lori and husband Gordon and Jan and husband Guy; two sisters, Georgie and Linda; and brother David; as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. "Lulu", as she was lovingly known, was born on March 18, 1935 in Winnipeg. She married her childhood sweetheart Don Harding and they celebrated 36 years of marriage together. Although a successful and dedicated businesswoman, Donna was a strong believer in family and centered her life on raising her children. Her pride and joy were her 12 grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Grandma Lulu will be forever loved and missed by little Katie, Trent and Carlie, Jenna, Danny and Hailey, Patrick and Alina, Thomas, Julie, Leanne and Dayna. Meeting new people and socializing with her adult children was a regular part of Lulus life. She always welcomed additions to her ever-expanding family of friends and was proud to be dubbed "Mother to children of all ages." She loved to plant her flowers and do her gardening in the spring. Baking was her specialty and music meant a lot to her. She had a passion for reading which she especially enjoyed during the happy summers at the cottage. Donna was a caring and spiritual person. Her strong faith helped her with the challenges she faced in her life - she especially missed her husband Don and his companionship. Mom, Lulu - well love you forever, Well miss you always, May you find peace with Dad in heaven.
